Turning DewShield On/Off

TracVision R6 Systems Only
The DewShield electronic dew elimination system
(patent pending) keeps the antenna dome clear of dew,
ensuring optimum reception of satellite TV signals
(moisture weakens satellite signals).
Unless conserving vehicle power is a critical concern,
you should leave DewShield set to AUTO. Follow the
steps below if you need to change the current setting.
1. Using your primary receiver, press the MENU
button to access the main menu.
2. Highlight the System Setup tab and press
SELECT.
3. Highlight the Antenna tab.
4. Highlight the Modify Settings button and press
SELECT.
5. If you want to enable DewShield, highlight
DewShield Auto. If you want to turn off
DewShield, highlight DewShield Off. Then press
SELECT.

DewShield is designed to prevent dew
from forming. If DewShield is set to OFF,
and dew has formed on the dome, setting
DewShield back to AUTO will not shed
water. For this reason, KVH recommends
you always keep DewShield set to AUTO.
